LocalFS

Dear Jonothan,

thank you for LocalFS!

If you had not created it, I would have done it.
However, I must admit, mine would not have been as nice as yours.

I have attached a small patch that allows "Local File System"
and its content to be cataloged. There are still some open issues
I want to discuss in "zope-dev":
1. the addional meta types ("Local Directory" and "Local File")
which cannot be added as objects but should, maybe, cataloged.
2. "bobobase_modification_time", which is not completely
adaquate for cataloging local files.

Dieter

RE: LocalFS [In reply to]

Code is best when it's not a hack.

The normal default directory browsing mixes files and subdirectories.
While you can sort by type and id, this isn't a particularly enthralling
solution. For example, if you just want directories gathered at the top
of the list, but don't want files sorted any further than id.

Also, if you give a spec of '*.jpg', this will exclude directories
(which have a spec of '*/' or '*\').

Internally, LocalFS will place directories at the top, if they are
included in the spec. This, however, leads to boring and stupid urls
while browsing (always having to include '*/').

I could use tpValues(), but that doesn't deal with the spec, which
LocalFS appends internally to the url variable for directories (that it
adds this spec information without asking is a coding mistake, imho).

.. hmm.. perhaps I should remove that mistake, rewrite methodBrowse to
explicitly add spec as needed, and have done with it?

As I said.. code is best when it's not a hack. Code is best when it
allows modification without hackification.

RE: LocalFS [In reply to]

Sorting by type doesn't always place the directories at top (say you
have an object of type 'application/octet-stream'). Also, I don't want
the *files* to be sorted by type. They're all images -- whether jpg or
gif should be inconsequential.

So the real task is to display all the directories, and then display the
non-directories.

I've decided to use tpValues(), but have discovered it lacks some
variables otherwise provided by objectValues(). I'm working on
correcting that problem.

Re: LocalFS [In reply to]

I understand now ...

I think sorting by type and __then__ by id is a normal thing to do. At
least,
it is something I expect to be able to do easily in the shell. I think
LocalFS,
which (IMO) is Zope's extension of "ls" should be able to do the same.

The Product is modifiable, if given sufficient foresight, and logical
default
values.

RE: LocalFS [In reply to]

You're trying to kill me or what?
I would have to delete 1.756 files?

I did a text search on python15 and only two files came up:
[Zope]/bin/lib/disutils/cygwinccompiler.py and
[Zope]/lib/python/Products/LocalFS/win32wnet.pyd

If needed I can hack into the *.py file but I cannot edit the *.pyd file
directly.

Would it help if I just pasted the missing file in the wright spot? If so
can someone mail me this 'python15.dll'?

What Zope version are you running? If you are running Zope up to v 2.3.3,
you already have this dll. You have to have it to run python, and hence
Zope. If you are running Zope 2.4.0 or later, it shouldn't ask for version
1.5 of python, but for 2.1.

I don't know. The point is that something in LocalFS is trying to call an
old python dll.

That won't be easy. LocalFS is fundamentally orphaned. :^( Jon's words:

"I keep hoping that someone who actually uses the product might step up and
take over organizing it. ... I have a hard time motivating myself to
maintain a product I don't even use."

I thinks, "LocalFS" has a different set of "*{Ids|Values|Items}" methods
("fileValues"?).

This assumes that EG (which I assume is a LocalFS object, right?) has a
"manage_addFile" method. If it doesn't it will get acquired from the
context (probably the folder above in your case) and the file gets
created there.

Does LocalFS support adding files from the Zope side? Perhaps it has its
own API different from manage_addFile?

If it doesn't, you could just write a simple external method which
created the file in the proper place directly. Something like:

import os.path

def writeFile(filename, data):
open(os.path.join('/path/to/localfs/dir', filename),
'wb').write(data)

Obviously you'd want to make sure you secure the external method so it
is not directly callable through the web by everyone.

Given that so many of you seem to be doing this, why not one of you
actually pick up the patches, apply them, release a version and maintain
it until you no longer need LocalFS?

All this independent patching seems a little insane...
